IMPROVEMENT IN HARROWS.

Specification forming part ot' Letters Patent No. 11,452, dated August 1, 1854. Y

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. ANDERSON, of Jacksonville, in the county of Tompkins and State ot' New York, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Barrows; and I do hereby declare that the following,` is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure l is a birds-eye View. Fig. 2 is a sectional view.`

A A A is the frame, made of two right-angled triangles connected together by the hinges G G.

B B are string-pieces placed at right angles with the hypotenuse,through which and stringpieces the teeth F F are inserted. Teeth are also inserted in the frame A A and in the hinges G G.

C C are nuts securing the teeth F F in their places.

D D are handles for guiding and raising the harrow when it becomes necessary to turn one half ofthe barrow upon the other.

E E are draw-heads firmly affixed to a stringpiece and frame tWo-sevenths from the center of each half of the harrow, with notches one above another, into one of which the chains H H are hooked.

I is a bar connecting the chains II H.

J is a chain by which the harrow is drawn.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l Inserting a tooth in each hinge at G G, so that no part of the ground escapes being pnlverized, whereas in other harrows with hinges a large space in the center of the harrow escapes.
